Standard Wash Sales
The term "standard wash sales" refers to trades involving "identical securities" only. Wash sales according to the IRS definition refers to trades involving "substantially identical securities", which is potentially broader in scope.

Schedule D Tax Tool makes no attempt to discern or interpret what is "substantially identical", regardless of whether it may seem clear. Wash sale adjustments are made only when securities are precisely exact, which is the typical scenario.
